Someone on HN using the word "ObamaCare" is just another notch in reasons why I'm slowly not visiting anymore. Jesus.

- briansmith 17y agoI agree. Do you know what the new website is? I went through Digg -> Reddit, Reddit -> news.yc, and now I don't know what comes next. (Actually, some parts of Reddit seem to have returned to respectability. Maybe Reddit has become the new news.yc?)

Yeah, it's sad to see the quality of discussion erode a bit, but I'm hoping it's just a cycle. I saw a comment about "teabaggers" just recently as well, so it is truly non-partisan low quality political discussion. Then again, maybe any not-heavily-moderated politics discussion on the internet devolves into that sort of thing, which is why it's more or less verboden on HN in the first place. I'm just breaking out the downvote for it and crossing my fingers that it's a passing influx of people who don't know the etiquitte yet.
